Actually, that rule went away years ago, even in Street Touring, which originally had a rule like this for much the same purpose -- eventually abandoned as practically unenforcable. In fact, the section defining eligible vehicles specifically says, "Cars need not be licensed or licensable for road use." The only mention of licensing for Stock, Street Touring, Street Prepared, and Prepared is that all cars must be "...capable of being licensed for normal road use in the United States...." -- part of a rule intended to guarantee their production origins.Loren wrote:You can keep any car you'd care to registered, insured and tagged...You see this with SCCA Street Prepared (and stock, for that matter) all the time. They have a rule that requires the cars to be registered, so they are... but they're still not driven on the street... or driven to the events.
Yep -- for someone who defines FAST as a place to "..."run what ya brung" and hang out with those kind of people..." you're spending an awful lot of time splitting hairs. Frankly, this is amusing...SCCA takes a ration of crap about classing and rules lawyers bent on winning at all costs, but locally, SCCA events are a mixture of cars prepared to the owners whim and run where they fall -- some well-prepared for the class, some not, and no one gets too bent out of shape. FAST, supposedly founded on "run what ya brung and have fun", is heading towards a class structure just as complex because people are complaining they can't win. It's good comedy.Arguably (very), we're trying to fix something that isn't really broken.
I do like Tee shirts.. I bet I will like it even more when I actually earn it!
